A To Z Challenge: BOOK NOOK REVIEWS "X"

Xander Panda
is planning a party, a dandy panda party! But he has to change the plans and
send more and more invitations as the guest list grows and grows. Xander is
frantic. His party won’t stay planned!

Why you
should read it:

This cute
book reminds me of another great zoo book…One Zany Zoo by Lori Degman. But in
this zany zoo tale, Xander Panda is trying to have a simple party for all his
panda friends. There’s only one problem. Xander is the only panda at the zoo.

What starts out to be a simple party ends up being a glorious celebration for
everyone at the zoo. Author Linda Sue Park writes a delightful rhyming story
sure to amuse young readers of all ages while illustrator Matt Phelan’s
whimsical artwork entices readers to join in the fun. A great addition to any
library.

Addie comes from a long line of readers or "story catchers" as
her family likes to call themselves. Every time Addie tries to catch a story on
her own the wiggly words play tricks on her. She tries different ways to make
those words sit still but it will take a little faith for Addie to become the
next STORY CATCHER.
